SPF awards three for public spiritedness, six for preventing scams
SINGAPORE - One morning in April, like most days, Mr Koh Ming Bin boarded the bus to work. The 24-year-old was settling into his 45-minute journey when he spotted something that enraged him.
According to the Singapore Police Force’s annual crime brief, outrage of modesty cases increased from 1,474 in 2021 to 1,610 in 2022. The other two awards were presented to Mr Ng Hoong Seong, 31, who helped to persuade an emotionally distressed woman to get off the parapet of an HDB block, and Mr Tong Chee Fei, 37, an SBS Transit bus captain who prevented another molester from leaving his bus until the police arrived.
“She showed me her messages with her boyfriend, which raised a few alarm bells in my mind,” he told ST, adding that he gently questioned her further before alerting his supervisor. Meanwhile, Ms Jessica Chen Yixuan, 28, a policy and escalations manager at Carousell, was deciding where to have dinner in Orchard Road when she received a call from the Bedok Police Division regarding counterfeit Apple AirPods being sold on the app.
